i could live here forever, pt. 2.

dialogue prompts from i could live here forever: a novel by hanna halperin.

you could be famous. you could do anything you want.

if you snore, i'm booting you to the couch.

i think about you, and everything bad just disappears.

that's kind of how i fall asleep at night. talking to you in my head.

it's really good to hear your voice. where are you?

do whatever you have to do.

are you still attracted to me?

you would always be welcome with me.

you're scaring me right now.

you seem really anxious. are you okay?

you're the shit. you deserve the best.

it makes me feel better to know where your head is at.

it's not paranoid when it turns out you're actually being watched.

would you mind walking me home?

thanks for walking me home. i appreciate it.

is this safe? are you safe?

i'm going to remember this day for the rest of my life.

it's hard to hear, that's all.

you use people. it's something that you do.

you know i'll always pick up. no matter what.

i left out parts of the story.

i think we should go to the hospital. we can go together.

i'm really sorry. you're not seeing me at my best.

what's a seven-letter word for a desert in a glass?

i'm kind of freaking out right now.

are you talking to anyone? a counselor or a therapist?

it's almost over. you're doing great.

i don't say this lightly, but you might have saved my life.

you deserve to be with someone who's good to you all the time.

maybe we both blew it.

i wish i could meet you for the first time right now.

i wish i could be my best self for you.

i really do believe that art can save a person.

being admired and being loved aren't the same thing.

i didn't think you were actually going to come.

you should trust your instincts.

one day you're going to look back on this and you're going to laugh.

i know it doesn't feel that way now, but you're going to be okay.

we never talk about that night.

home is a memory.

i don't think i would have survived that time without you.

do you want me to come in with you?

i remembered you taller.

i wish you'd called ahead of time.

you're as good as they come.

i didn't know where my feelings ended and yours began.

it's brave, what you did today.

i know you're lying to me.

i think things happen how they're supposed to.

i used to feel very alone. i was scared i'd always feel that way.

with you, i feel like i'm part of something.

you bring out something different in me. something i didn't even know i was capable of.

i can't be the only thing that gets you through the day.

what i want most in this world is to have a family.

i've never loved a face more than i've loved yours.

maybe this is what family is supposed to feel like.

every time i try to be normal, i mess it up.

see you soon. miss you already.

you look like someone who has their life together.

what do you like?

you ask good questions.

you're not a martyr. get over yourself.

what we have is complicated, but it's good and real.

were you waiting for me all this time?

i wish we got to know each other more.

we don't know each other well, but i'm here for you.

are you going to be okay?

i feel ____ here with me all the time.

nothing is as real as the person beside you.

Serial Mom ... sentence starters

"He killed people."

"This is my bad side!"

"You sure can pick 'em."

"I'm so happy I could shit."

"We all have our bad days."

"So, you admit you just lied?"

"Do you think I need a lawyer?"

"Now I'll never get a boyfriend!"

"God damn you! Stop calling here!"

"Nice? He should have been executed!"

"Um, don't use words unless you mean them."

"Will you believe that god damn litter bugger?"

"I mean it, he should be dead, that lousy creep!"

"Let the records show I'm merely standing here!"

"The police are tracing this call this very minute."

"I'm sorry, but we don't allow gum in this house."

"That's a nice dress you're wearing this morning."

"For the sake of this planet, someone just might."

"Your mother may have some problems. That's all."

"I don't like to read about movies. They're so violent."

"I should warn you, this note contains, uh, language."

"Yes, it is! Didn't your mother tell you? Now you know."

"Proceed with caution; she is armed. And fuckin' nuts!"

"I hate her guts. You know, somebody ought to kill her."

"It's okay, nobody's gonna hurt you. Come on, let it out."

"Well, what exactly does this sick individual say to you?"

"The only 'serial' I know anything about is Rice Krispies."

"Now, who on earth would want to harass poor (name)?"

"I can't say the words out loud, I don't use bad language."

"I don't know what it is about today, but I feel great. Cookie?"

"I tell you right there, I saw blood on the bottom of her shoes."

"Oh, well, I know it's difficult, but we need to know the exact words."

"Life doesn't have to be ugly. Look at the birds out there; listen to their call."

"And yet you...All you want is to be by my side. You've never asked for any more than that. The only time you touched me intentionally was when we were reunited."

(no tragedy) left to rot

" Alice ~! " It came once again, the cheerful and excited tone- one that promised to pull anyone from the dark. One that promised to never leave anyone behind- it was strange how a tone of a voice could describe a person to brutally w r o n g. But that doesn't matter now, not with the the smile that kept onto thin lips as eyes would dart around the messy room until it lands on the girl. Lovely dress pooling around her, a rabbit tucked tightly within her arms. A face that so cruelly reminds him of what was l o s s-

" Haha haaaa~ ! I'm sorry, Alice. You know I really wanted to spend time with you, I'm sadly just so busy. " He would lament before kneeling down, a hand whipping up to his mouth as if to whisper a s e c r e t, " Glen was being so mean and making me go work instead of playing with you, " He shall stick out his tongue, feigning the distaste of his words before sighing, falling to his bottom, Jack would go about crossing his legs much like a child- his hands tucked behind his back still as his somber expression turns back into a smile,

" But don't think I didn't forget about the best part of a birthday. ~ But, you have to guess what I have.~ "
